In this example:
- We include the Ultrasonic
library, which provides functions for interfacing with the ultrasonic sensor.
- We define the trigger and echo pins for the ultrasonic sensor, as well as the threshold distance for collision detection.
- In the setup
function, we initialize the Serial communication.
- In the loop
function, we measure the distance to the obstacle using the distanceRead
function from the Ultrasonic
library.
- We check if the measured distance is below the collision threshold. If it is, we print a message indicating a collision detected.
- You can add additional actions inside the if
statement to respond to a collision, such as stopping a motor or activating a buzzer.
Make sure to connect the ultrasonic sensor to the correct pins > the Arduino board, and adjust the pins and threshold distance according to your setup. Additionally, consider adding additional safety measures and error handling to improve the reliability of the collision detection system.
